Patients suffering from functional gastrointestinal disorders are likely to search elsewhere when conventional therapies fail them. Enthusiasm for complementary and alternative medicine use and research is clearly growing. Studies of acupuncture and herbal therapy for functional gastrointestinal disorders in the Western literature have often been limited by poor study design but these interventions may have promise and are discussed here.
患有功能性胃肠疾病的患者在传统疗法对其无效时,可能会寻求其他治疗方法。对补充和替代医学的使用及研究的热情显然在不断增长。西方文献中关于针灸和草药疗法治疗功能性胃肠疾病的研究常常因研究设计不佳而受到限制,但这些干预措施可能具有前景,在此予以讨论。
